someone help me understand student loans.?
okay, took out a fed. student loan. got a letter informing me of the disbursement dates of the checks, which was way after the tuition due date. So i decided to check my school account over the web, and i saw the amount that took out for the loan, was subtracted from my balance, and thus have a new balance. So i'm type confused. I was told that the check woudn't come in the mail, until oct., but now i see the $ was dedtucted from my acct.....so i'm a little confused.

Disbursement is a long process. Once the school has verification from the lender that you have a loan, they will "pre-credit" your account for the amount they are going to receive. If it is not enoughto cover your tuition you will get a bill for the balance. If you are entiteld to extra funds, it takes about 2 weeks from the time the school actually gets the money from the lender. The disbursement date is the day the school is scheduled to receive the funds from your lender.
